Kyiv after the Russian attack:
The temperature is -9°C, dropping to -15°C overnight.
Tens of thousands of people are without heating, water, electricity.
Those who have gas are trying to keep warm by heating bricks on their stoves.
This is what genocide looks like in the 21st century.

Donald Trump says climate change is a “hoax” and a “con job”.
But at the same time the US position is that they need Greenland because the melting Arctic ice is creating a security risk.
At this point, I think it’s pretty clear who the real con artist is.

Current events are making it challenging to track MPs and reputable organisations that are permanently migrating to Bluesky. If folks see examples that we need to assess for verification - do let me know. Will limit it largely to politicians, govt orgs and large orgs at the moment for this pass.

Jeremy Bowen really is an outstanding broadcaster. He's a reminder that public service broadcasting can be objective and impartial without needing to be balanced - indeed that balance makes objectivity impossible. I imagine they'll get rid of him soon.

Donald Trump hopes to get Venezuela's oil flowing again, but this will not come cheap. Tripling production, from 1 million to 3 million barrels of oil a day, would cost an estimated $183 billion.
President Trump’s ambition to rebuild Venezuela’s oil sector will be challenging, especially if prices continue to fall
Robust long-term oil demand is needed to justify significant investment, but is called into question by the growing popularity of electric vehicles.

Fifty million Brits had a Covid vaccine.
The speed at which they were developed is one of the success stories of the last 25 years.
